One of my favorite blogs is Lost Remote, which focuses on emerging trends within the television industry. Unlike typical industry oriented publications, it’s not all stuffy business reports. Lost Remote is brief but well written, current, insightful, and often witty commentary about upcoming technologies and other factors that are shaping the television industry. So there’s [...]
Chapters of Alpha Sigma Phi national fraternity are identified by assigning Greek letter designations in the order by which each chapter was founded. My chapter at SUNY Plattsburgh was designated as the Delta Xi chapter. However there is no school designated as Omega. The reason is that Omega is the final letter in the Greek [...]
Just a quick note for those who may utilize my atom feed to read my blog, perhaps in a newsreader. Since I was just recently switched over to “new blogger” there are some things I need to fix up. In the next few days I’m going to go through all my old posts and add [...]
Last week I got an unexpected phone call from a representative of Alpha Sigma Phi National Fraternity. A brother Mike Finelli (Bowling Green, class of 2003) said that he would be visiting Charlotte on fraternity business next week and he wanted to schedule time to speak with me about the state of the fraternity and [...]
After months of waiting, Google/Blogger has finally allowed my account to be migrated to “New Blogger”. I’ll have to test out all of these new featues. Since I FTP-publish my blog to my own domain (instead of the far more common practice of using blogspot.com for hosting) some of these new features may be unavailable [...]

It’s a website where kids can register and become a cartoon penguin in a virtual world. You walk around and explore this snow covered land, while you play interactive games and communicate with other penguins. [...]
Way back in January I applied for an employment opportunity in Tampa. The position seemed to be an absolutely perfect match for me: Promotions Manager (the title that’s unavailable here), at an independent television station (just like here), in the #12 market (Charlotte is #26). I had a couple of phone interviews in February and [...]
If I didn’t write something you would all think I had died. The past week and a half have been absolutely crazy and I’ll write about it all when I get a chance. The only thing I’ll say now is that I have less than 24 hours to decide whether to move the family to [...]
I’m in warm sunny Florida yet late last night I suddenly began to feel freezing. I piled on several heavy blankets and yet I was literally shivering. Couldn’t sleep at all and I felt even worse in the morning, feeling totally drained of all my energy. This is a total repeat of the last time [...]
Today Maegan, my mom, and I went to the Morikami Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach. We took a really nice stroll around a large pond, immaculately maintained in traditional Japanese style. Bamoo structures, bonsai trees, rock gardens, and a waterfall. Maegan even got to feed the nearly 100 coy. We got lots of great photos [...]
